Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Other Electromechanical, Instrumentation, & Maintenance Technology field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Other Electromechanical, Instrumentation, & Maintenance Technology majors need many skills, but most especially Troubleshooting. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Other Electromechanical, Instrumentation, & Maintenance Technology majors need more than the average amount of Installation, Repairing, Equipment Maintenance, Equipment Selection, Troubleshooting, Operation and Control, Operation Monitoring, Technology Design, Quality Control Analysis, Programming, Science, Operations Analysis, Mathematics, Complex Problem Solving, Systems Evaluation, Critical Thinking, Systems Analysis, Reading Comprehension, Service Orientation, Active Listening, Active Learning, Coordination, Time Management, Learning Strategies, Monitoring, Instructing, Judgment and Decision Making, Persuasion, Writing, Speaking, Management of Personnel Resources, Social Perceptiveness, Negotiation, Management of Material Resources, and Management of Financial Resources.
These two visualizations, one a radial chart and one a bar chart, show the same information, a rating of how necessary the following skills are for Other Electromechanical, Instrumentation, & Maintenance Technology majors. Toggle between "value" and "RCA" to see the absolute rating of that skill (value) and the revealed comparative advantage (RCA), or how much greater or lesser that skill's rating is than the average. The longer the bar or the closer the line comes to the circumference of the circle, the more important that skill is. The importance of Installation is very distinctive for majors, but the Troubleshooting, Repairing, Reading Comprehension, Critical Thinking, Equipment Maintenance, Operation Monitoring, Quality Control Analysis, Active Listening, Complex Problem Solving, Operation and Control, Active Learning, Mathematics, Speaking, Writing, Monitoring, Equipment Selection, Installation, Systems Evaluation, Judgment and Decision Making, Systems Analysis, Learning Strategies, Coordination, Instructing, Time Management, Science, Service Orientation, Social Perceptiveness, Technology Design, Programming, Persuasion, Management of Personnel Resources, Negotiation, Operations Analysis, Management of Material Resources, and Management of Financial Resources are the three most important skills for people in the field.
